King Laurent
( Day 78, January 8th )

Her glare intensified as I continued to eat the assorted fruits on my plate, popping a grape in my mouth as a annoyed sigh left her lips over and over. Ignoring the angry woman, I got up off the bed and placed the plate on the rolling cart, ringing the small silver bell to which a maid came in and took it away. Plopping back down on the bed, my arm snaked around her waist and I rested my head on her lap, closing my eyes in bliss. The aggravated snort heard above me indicated I was the only person happy at the current moment.

King Laurent: "Is there a problem my love?"
I asked with a smirk on my face, I enjoyed bugging her, it was childish but it always made me smile and laugh. Crossing her arms on her chest, Jasmine eye twitched ever so slightly and her nostrils flared.

Jasmine: "You know damn well that there's a problem! How long you plan on keeping me prisoner in this damn room?! I been on bed rest for two days now!"
Seriousness took over the playfulness in my eyes as I sat up and pinned Jasmine down under me. I gripped her chin in my hand and forced her to concentrate on me.

King Laurent: "You're going to stay your ass in this bed until Dr.Leona says otherwise and I believe your good to go. You don't want to? Oh damn well, I'll lock this room down so quick, you'd need a key just to take a piss. Your health is important to me Jasmine, YOU are important to me Jasmine and until you get a damn clean bill of health, you will stay here and let me take care of you damnit." Her eyes widened and a slight tremble starting on her bottom lip, tears slipping down her face in unending streams. What the hell? She tried to push me away and when she couldn't make me budge, she began to cry harder.

Jasmine: "Why the fuck you yelling at me for?! I didn't even do anything! I hate you!"
Staring down at her, my whole mental was on confused mode. Why the fuck was Jasmine so damn emotional? I couldn't help laughing which must've been the wrong thing to do because that did nothing but change her whole demeanor from sad to savage. Her beautiful brown eyes narrowed to slits and she tried to kick me, missing my dick just by a few inches. When she tried to slap me, I anticipated that and grabbed her wrist again, pinning her down once more.

King Laurent: "Aye! Chill out with that, the hells your problem? Crazy ass bipolar female."
I mumbled and she just deflated, twisting her head from me, deeming me unimportant. Muttering under my breath, I got up off Jasmine and let her be. I needed to check in on Liara anyways. I got to the door and was halfway through, when Jasmine called out for me.

Jasmine: "Wait..you're leaving me? Don't go Laurent! I'm sorry baby."
A sad pout pulled the corner of her lips down and I just gawked at her. She really was fucking bipolar.

King Laurent: "Relax, I need to go see how Liara's doing. Don't sweat it mon amour, you ain't damage none of the goods so I'll still be able to rock your world in a bit. Just chill until I get back, I don't plan on letting you sleep tonight so you should do that now."
Winking at her, I left the room completely. Making my way to Liara's room, I walked in to see Lylah sitting on the bed with Liloh clinging to her leg while Liara spoke with tears room down her cheeks. Before I could ask what happened, small arms linked around my legs and I peeked down at the bubbly radiance that was Liloh.

Liloh: "Oncle Lau Lau! I missed you sooooo soo so much! Up!"
She lifted her arms up, a grin splitting her little lips and cheeks. Gathering my niece up in my arms, I nuzzled my nose against hers as she giggled from the attention.

King Laurent: "Hello my little boo boo, where's bunny?"
I asked her and the pout that accompanied my words had my eyebrow raising.

Liloh: "Daddy said he had to go and get my new brother and sisters, but he hasn't brought them by yet and that was a whole ten days ago!"
Liloh whined and I heard her mother smack her teeth.

Lylah: "Stop all that fibbing girl, your dad been gone five minutes. He hasn't even made it to their new house yet, stop being so impatient Li Li." Liloh pursed her lips together and made a funny face, whining again about it being to long. Liara's chuckle turned to a sob and I placed Liloh on the floor again, going over to my sister and wrapping her in my arms.

King Laurent: "How you doing today sis? Sorry I couldn't check on you sooner, Jasmine been sick and I didn't want to leave her side with all the nausea and fatigue."
Liara shrugged her shoulders and Lylah looked at me with a peculiar expression but stayed silent.

Liara: "I'm okay, just adjusting to it. I hadn't really expected the immense guilt that hits you unexpectedly and I'm just reeling from it. Sorry about Jasmine, I bee fucking up a lot with her lately and I have to fix it soon."
Lylah was peppering Liloh with kisses when she looked at me.

Lylah: "Has Jasmine been throwing up? Inconsistent eating? How about paleness?"
She asked suddenly and I cocked my head to the side at her, how'd she know? When I shook my head yes, Lylah inhaled a sharp breath and mumbled congratulations but didn't elaborate.

King Laurent: "What you mean Lylah?"
I inquired but her response was interrupted by a knock at the door.

Liara: "Who is it?"

Dr.Leona: "It's Dr.Leona miss Liara, I was hoping to have a word with King Laurent."
The doctor said from the other side of the door and loads told her to enter. Stepping inside in her crisp doctors lab coat.

Dr.Leona: "Ah, King Laurent, I been looking for you. I have Jasmine's tests results and I couldn't be happie-"

Lylah: "Perhaps it would be better if you and King Laurent spoke out in the hallway Dr.Leona, don't you think?"
Lylah cut off the doctor and I couldn't understand why I would have to go in the hallway to speak. This was my damn castle. Opting to ignore her, I told Dr.Leona to carry on, I swore I could feel the lasers shooting from Lylahs irises. Clearing her throat, Dr.Leona resumed speaking.

Dr.Leona: "As I was saying Your Highness, miss Jasmine results came back and she test positive for high levels human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG, if your preferred. "

King Laurent: "English is what I prefer Doctor."
I said, not in the mood for trying to understand what doctoral terms she just used was. Dr.Leona shot me a harassed glare but straightened up when she saw my eyes narrow at her behavior.

Dr.Leona: "What I meant was, that miss Jasmine is pregnant, Your Highness."
I heard the words but they didn't register, I just kept staring at Dr.Leona like she grew a second head. I mean, it made sense since every time me and Jasmine slept together, I hit raw but still, I hadn't really thought she'd get pregnant. That was the last thing on my mind and I was kind of back and forth about how I felt about it currently. A raspy voice spoke from behind the doctor and Dr.Leona jumped.

Jasmine: "I'm sorry, can you repeat that please?"
